Narconon Graduates Celebrate Long-Term Sobriety

Monday, July 26th, 2010

As one of the largest networks of drug rehabilitation centers worldwide, Narconon is justly proud of its parade of thousands of people fully recovered from addiction

Los Angeles, CA - In today’s celebrity-obsessed media environment we typically only hear about the sensational side of drug addiction treatment, usually filled with relapses and repeat offenders. While these stories do show in some respect what can happen when people become dependent on alcohol and other drugs, it also can make a mockery out of rehabilitation.

Notably missing in this sage are stories from people who have gotten help for their addictions and have been sober ever since. But these are the stories that fill the 40-plus years of the Narconon® drug rehabilitation program’s history. It is common to hear of Narconon graduates fully recovered for five, ten, twenty years or longer.

Just one example is a former crack cocaine addict named Glenn, who wrote, “As I went through the program and with the help of the wonderful staff, I really started to see a difference in myself. I began to believe in myself again. Now I am a real person again, and I owe everything that I am today to the Narconon program.”

Much of the treatment methods used by Narconon include emphasis on personal responsibility as well as rebuilding broken relationships. It is one of the few truly holistic methods in that it is completely drug-free. It does not treat addiction with prescriptions of any kind. What is most important, of course, is that it works.

Allison is a Narconon graduate from over five years ago. According to her, “My life couldn’t be better now. I have everything I could ever want, and most importantly I am free from the struggles of drug addiction…Not a day goes by that I am not thankful for what I have achieved since the day I first stepped foot into Narconon. I am finally happy; I am finally free.”

Narconon International’s president, Clark Carr, travels the world introducing the Narconon program to new countries and regions. In doing so he has personally met hundreds of long-time graduates at alumni celebrations and anniversary events. “What is astonishing about Narconon is that our rate of long-term sobriety is consistent in so many different cultures, in so many different settings,” says Carr. “From the Americas to Europe, Asia to Africa, Narconon gets results.”

Narconon maintains a 70% or better success rate for helping individuals rid themselves of alcohol and drug addictions. It is one of the largest non-governmental organizations working on drug rehabilitation and prevention in the world.

Tuesday, July 20th, 2010

The Narconon First Step books teach people how to safely withdraw from many substances in a drug-free environment

Los Angeles, CA - Narconon® has been a worldwide leader in drug-free withdrawal practices for more than four decades.  Not only does it use specialized techniques in its outpatient and residential rehabilitation centers around the globe, but in a series of books it also helps teach individuals to do this in other settings in a supervised manner.

They are called the Narconon First Step manuals. They cover the drug-free procedures used in Narconon treatment centers to help someone safely withdraw from most drugs. Narconon International’s president, Clark Carr, has also been delivering an extended series of First Step workshops to dozen of centers and hundreds of people in Mexico, caught in the middle of the drug crisis there and looking for workable solutions.

The First Step books detail specific nutritional supplements and amounts used, teach someone how to help a person who is withdrawing to stay extroverted, and how to alleviate mental and physical discomforts of withdrawal. Tools for increasing communication skills are included.

One treatment counselor recently pointed out, the Narconon techniques of using vitamins, minerals and other supplements to lessen the severity of withdrawal symptoms is cheaper and easier to administer than prescription drugs. Moreover, these nutrients do not produce the side effects associated with pharmaceuticals.

Narconon has been successfully using their drug-free approach since the 60’s. Its locations across the globe include the North America, South America, the United Kingdom, Africa, Europe and Australia.
